MEXICAN MINISTER REPRESENTS SPAIN
Spain Is Willing to Give Up Cuba and to Make Such

and Sending Home of Spanish Prisoners Thought
to Be the Beginning of the End of the Hispano-
American War.
LONDON, July 17.— The Madrid Correspondent of the Sunday
Times says:
"Despite official denials and preparations for a continuance of
fighting, I have the best of authority for saying- that peace is as
sured. It is beyond doubt that the main points have been agreed
upon with the Washing-ton authorities. It is understood that
Spain will evacuate Cuba, the Americans undertaking- to transport
the troops to Spain.
Spain, through the Mexican minister, has represented to
America that she is firmly decided on peace, at the same time real
*■ izing the difficulties arising from the opposition of the Cuban vol
unteers and Spanish army, notwithstanding their heavy losses.
'•The political situation is most critical, owing to agitations
in the principal towns."
ENGLAND I KGES PEACE.

Good Offices of That Government.
PARIS, July 16. — The correspondent
of the Temps at Madrid says:
"The British ambassador daily press
es the government to accept the good
offices of the British cabinet, stating
that it alone can obtain honorable con
ditions for Spain."
The correspondent sarcastically says:
"The ambassador points out that Eng
land will only ask a slight extension of
Gibraltar or the island of Tarsti.'e as a
fee."
PREPARING FOR PEACE.
Suggestion as to the Disposition to
Be Made of Spain's Colonies.
LONDON, July 17. — The Sunday i
Times this morning suggests that the '
United States invite Great Britain, as |
the most interested country, to join i
with themselves and Spain in a pro
tectorate over the Philippine islands
until a government capable of ruling
without assistance shall have been es- !
tablished. The paper says:
"The United Statas may now reason- j
ably claim a protectorate over Cuba,
but should return Porto Rico, the Lad
ronea and any other territory the gov- !
ernment might seize, though they ,
■might temporarily retain the first nam- i
ed until the war indemnities shall have
been paid."

WANT TO GET AWAY.
French CoJnsul Intercedes for Sub
jects Now at Guantanamo.
PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo
Bay, July 16.— A steam launch from
the Spanish gunboat Sandoval came
down the bay this afternoon flying the
French flag. The French consul at
Guantanamo was on board, as was also
the Spanish bishop of the Catholic
church at Guantanamo. They held a
conference with Commander McCalla
relative to the removal of indigent
French subjects from Guantanamo to
the French cruiser now in the harbor.
Their request was refused until the
number of persons to be removed was
definitely known.
The French consul said that there
had been absolutely no communication
at Guantanamo with the outside world
since June 7. He was greatly surprised
to hear of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's fleet, and the surrender of
Santiago. The latter news and the
terms of the surrender, Involving the
Guantanamo forces will be communi
cated to the Spaniards at once.
A launch from the cruiser Marble
head while scouting along the west
shore of the bay this afternoon near
the mouth of Guantanamo river was
flred upon by a squad of Spanish pick
ets guarding the road in that vicinity.
The launch replied with her one
pounder and a lively fight resulted.
The Marblehead threw two shells from
a six-pounder into the woods and the
fire of the Spaniards ceased suddenly.
The launch was not hit.
HEALTH OF TROOPS.
It Ia Being Closely "Watched by Gov.
eminent Officials.
WASHINGTON, July 16.— The offi
cials qf the war department have in
stituted inquiries into the sanitary con
dition of the various military camps
in Florida, with a view to the removal
of the troops to more salubrious places
in case it be found advisable to do so.
In view of the reported appearance of
suspicious cases of fever among the
troops at Tampa, the secretary of war
has telegraphed Gen. Coppinger, in
command of that military district, to
make a full report of the sanitary con
ditions there. In case of necessity the
troops will be Immediately transferred
to Chickamauga, or some other camp
in a more northern latitude, probably
Newport News, Va.
According to a report Just received
at the war department from Maj. Gen.
Lee, commanding the troops at Jack
sonville, there is no occasion for any
change from a sanitary standpoint. He
says that the camp at Jacksonville ls
ln excellent condition with plenty of
water and all the requisites for a camp.
FIFTH MANILA EXPEDITION.
Preparations for Its Departure Are
Being; Pushed.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16. — Maj.
Gen. Merrlam has assumed command
of the expeditionary forces. Today
active preparations were continued on
the vessels of the fifth Manila expedi
tion. There will be a final inspection
of the Pennsylvania tomorrow, and, if
everything is satisfactory, the troops
designated for her will embark at once.
The troops that are detailed for the
Pennsylvania are the First Montana
regiment and the recruits for the First
California.
The South Dakota regiment is to go
on the Rio de Janeiro. It Is doubtful
whether the Rio de Janeiro will be
ready by Tuesday. The delay i s j n

THAT HARVARD MUTINY.
Spaniards Wanted to Get at Massa
chusetts' Regiment Stores.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July 16.—Re
garding the mutiny which occurred on
board the Harvard Just before she sail
ed from Santiago, it has been learned
that the Spaniards wanted to get at
the stores of the Ninth Massachusetts
regiment, which went to Santiago on
board the Harvard. Part of the troops
had been landed, but a detail had been
left to guard the stores and ammuni
tion.
It ls not clear whether the prisoners
actually made a break for the stores,
or whether they simply threatened to
do so, but there was a clash between
the Spaniards and the Massachusetts
men in the face of a marine guard, who
had the prisoners ln charge. The cap
tain of the guard, on seeing the dan
ger of an outbreak, ordered his men to
fire, and the marines obeyed, killing
six and wounding a dozen prisoners.
The last large load of Spaniards from
the Harvard was landed Just before
4 o'clock.
TEST WAS TOO HEAVY.
Soldier* Sent for a Ten-Mile Tramp
Suffer Severely.
CHARLESTON, July 16.— The three
regiments camped here were ordered
out today for a ten-mile tramp in
heavy marching order. The day was
an exceptionally hot one, and the men
suffered greatly. Before half of the
MAJ. GEN. NELSON A. MILES,
"Who Will Command the Porto Rican Expedition.
Journey was accomplished, the ranks
had been decimated by men falling
from exhaustion. Before they had re
turned to camp, some companies lost
half of their men. Some of the men
are seriously sick, as a consequence of
the march. Nineteen of them are in
the city hospital, and several of these
are thought to be in a critical condi
tion. The trouble seems to be that the
men have been kept on traveling ra
tions for over a week. Before starting
on their tramp, they had breakfast,
•consisting of hardtack, coffee and
canned tomatoes. There was not suf
ficient food to sustain them through
the task set for them.

WASHINGTON, July 16.— (Special.)—
It was given out here today that prepa
rations for the Porto Rican expedition
would likely be completed within a
fortnight. That the government is de
termined to lose no unnecessary time
in getting the expedition under way
was evidenced ln the prompt summon
ing to "Washington of Gen. Brooke, who
was at the "White house today and had
a prolonged conference with the presi
dent and members of the cabinet. In
official circles it ls said that the troops
at Camp Thomas were pronounced in
excellent shape by Gen, Brooke, who is
said to have added that the soldiers
there could be ready for the forward
movement within two- weeks, at the
outside, and sooner if it became neces
sary. There is general belief that Gen.
Brooke was instructed to get his sup
plies in such shape that they can be
transferred to transports at short no
tice.
MILES TO GO FIRST.
Nothing has been heard directly from
Gen. Miles during the. day, and it is
suspected that he rs even now on the
way to Porto Rico on a trip of inspec
tion. It is said that Gen. Miles is anx-
ious to post up on the situation before
the actual campaign is Inaugurated.
He will decide upon the _est landing
point, and, together with Admiral
• Sampson, agree upon how the fleet
shall co-operate in the rednction of th«
only real Spanish sWorignold there~
San Juan. Admiral Sampson, who has
had some experience on the coast of
Porto Rico, is said to be of the opin
ion that no very formidable opposition
will be encountered. The port of San
Juan is far easier of access than was
that of Santiago, and after the ships
have thrown in a few shells the Span
ish commandant at San'i'Juan will, it
is believed, reoognize the futility of en
deavoring to prevent the American
forces from taking possession.
WATSON'S TASK.
Admiral Sampson has made a requisi
tion on the ordnance department for
a large supply of ammunition for the
fleet. Most of this will be turned over
i to Commodore Watson, who, when he
I sails for the coast of Spain, will carry
a supply of projectiles commensurate
with the task ln hand. In addition to
the shells for the big and little guns,
Commodore Watson will carry a num
ber of solid steel, armor-piercing shot,
for use in event of running across Ad
miral Camara's squadron while on the
way across, or after he arrives in
Spanish waters. With the consign
ment for Commodore Watson will also
go a lot of ammunition to replenish
the supplies of the ships that were in
the engagement with Admiral Cervera's
fleet off Santiago.
SENDING SPANIARDS HOME.
Secretary Alger's new bureau of
transportation is about to be tested as
to Its ability to handle business ln an
emergency. It ls known as the bureau
of transportation, and ls in charge of
Col. Heicker, who has already given
evidence of possessing ra!,re executive
ability. He has a valuable assistant
in Col. Bird, of the quartermaster's
department, which really has charge of
all government matters appertaining to
transportation. It ls said to be the ex
pressed opinion of Cols. Heicker and
Bird that the problem of sending home
the Spanish prisoners taken at Santiago
will be solved in such a way as to
prove satisfactory to the government
and all parties concerned. The task is
undoubtedly one of stupendous propor
tions, but the officers of the United
States military and naval departments
have fully demonstrated their ability
to arise to the needs of almost any oc
casion.
RECOGNITION OF CUBANS.
One of the .problems that ls giving
the government considerable concern
Just now ls what sort of recognition
shall be accorded the Cubans who as
sisted in the reduction of Santiago. It
has been proposed that they be permit
ted to practically govern at that point
after the Spanish prisoners have been
sent away. This would, of course, mean
that they ace to remain under the di
rection of American military authori
ties. The government is anxious to get
the troops out of Santiago province as
soon as possible, and It ls argued that
the Cubans cannot be better utilized
than in garrison duty at the captured
Spanish stronghold. It ls a foregone
conclusion ln official circles that the
Cubans will be restricted in whatever
they do to what is directed by the
authorities of the United States.
TO EMBARK AT CHARLESTON.
Probable Starting; Point of tbe Por
to Rico Expedition.
WASHINGTON, July 16.— Maj. Ge...
Brooke, commanding the troops at
Chlckamauga, was in conference sev
eral times today with Secretary Alger.
The two went over to the White house,
where questions relating presumably
to the proposed Porto Rico expedition
were discussed for some time. Secre
tary Alger and Gen. Brooke declined
absolutely to make any statement re
garding the subject.
In other quarters, however, there are
evidences that indicate activity in the
direction of preparation fiar a prompt
forward movement. For instance, steps
are being taken to ascertain and deter
mine to the entire satisfaction of the
war department officials the most
available points on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts from which to embark
large numbers of men. "Maj. Gen. Wil
son, now at Charleston with a brigade
of soldiers, has expressed the opinion
that that place offers the best harbor
facilities for embarkation between
there and New Orleans. The depth of
the water at low tide is slightly over
twenty feet, while at Savannah it is
about seventeen and at Farnandina,
Fla., the captains of the vessels say
they cannot get into the harbor. Gen.
Wilson has dispatched an officer to
Newport News to look into the question
of shipping facilities, harbor, camp
grounds and water supply at that
place, which seems to indicate that
the department Is considering the
question of sending some troops there
for embarkation.
WORK FOR WATSON.
May Cause tlie Release of* Cnlian
Fatrlotts at Fernando Po.
NEW YORK, July 16.— From private
Information received in this city by
sympathizers with the Cuban cause,
there is reason to believe that Com
modore Watson may include in his mis
sion to the Spanish coast a visit, first
or afterwards, to the Island- Fernando
Po, off the African coast, to release
from imprisonment many people ban-
| ished to the Island by Spain for po
litical reasons. Most of the prisoners
are Cuban sympathizers. That some
consideration has been given to this
proposition by the government or that
the latter Intends to adopt some other
and immediate plan for securing the
release of the Cuban prisoners of war
is partly evidenced by a dispatch re
ceived here reading as follows:
"Hopes for the relief of the patriot
Herrera and others have suddenly
grown brighter. MeKinley gives us
great assurances of prompt action
now."
Four Spanish Prlnonern Dead.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July l«.-Four
deaths occurred during the night among the
Spanish prisoners now at this port, two men
having died on Seavy's Island and two on
bor.rd tho Harvard. One of the deaths on the
vessel was due to malarial fever, and the
other to heart disease. One of the men who
died on the Island was an apothecary on one
of Cervera's ships and was a victim of paral
ysis. The other died from wounds. The con
j dition of those on board the Harvard was
| reported as being much better today. J

Brooke and Gen. Corbin had a conference j
with the president late this afternoon over j
the dispatch from Gen. Shafter, giving the
terms of the surrender of Santiago and the I
Spanish army under Gen. Toral. On leav- \
1 ing the White House they expressed them- j
I selves as highly gratified at the outcome of
the Santiago campaign, as well as the terms ]
of the surrender. It was eminently satisfac- i
tory, Gen. Alger said, and it was a great re- j
lief to know that all had been accomplished |
on the terms which had been secured.
TERMS OF SURRENDER SETTLED.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The sur
render of Santiago has finally been
accomplished, and at 9 o'clock Sunday
